Ibrahim ibn Muhammad Al ash-Sheikh was born in 1848 into the noted family of Saudi religious scholars, the Al ash-Sheikh, descendants of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
Abd Allah bin Abd al-Latif was the leader of the Saudi ulema at the end of the 19th century. Rather than going into exile as well, Abd Allah bin Abd al-Latif sided with the Al-Rashid and moved to Ha'il. The Al Saud returned from exile in 1902 under the leadership of Abdulaziz Al Saud (later Saudi Arabia's first King) and re-established the Saudi state around Riyadh.
Abd Allah bin Abd al-Latif then changed sides again and re-joined the Al Saud, a change of heart which was accepted by Abdul Aziz. Abd Allah bin Abd al-Latif remained as leader of the Saudi religious establishment until his death in 1921. Their son, Faisal, later became King of Saudi Arabia.
Tarfa died in 1912.
